This experience has made a huge impact in my future career path. I have loved learning more about the health issues within the Indigenous community. I really felt a part of the ambulance service up here and cannot be more thankful for this amazing opportunity.

Doing this internship has allowed me to enhance my clinical skills. This program has exposed me to the health gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians (cultural awareness) and has strengthened my passion to continue to work with them in the future
